Borderlands 4 Preorders Now Open
Borderlands 4 is now officially available for preorder, and contrary to earlier concerns, the base edition is priced at RM239 ($69.99/£59.99/€69.99) on Steam—avoiding the controversial $80 price point that previously sparked backlash within the gaming community.
Players looking for more content can opt for the Deluxe Edition at RM329 ($99.99) or the Super Deluxe Edition at RM429 ($129.99), with each tier offering progressively more digital content, including cosmetic items, new characters, additional regions, and story expansions.
Publisher Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that additional post-launch DLC content will be revealed at a later date.
